Home for the Holidays

The Larson siblings — Claudia (Holly Hunter), Tommy (Robert Downey Jr), and Joanne (Cynthia Stevenson) — return for a holiday dinner at their parents’ Baltimore home. There is a cloud of anxiety: the meal, at which are also seated a variety of friends and extended family, is the loud and raucous climax to a long day. (Some of the tension might’ve been a result of a lengthy shoot: the dinner scene reportedly took 10 days — and 64 turkeys — to shoot.)
